Moved by Kruppa, Second by Gagnon. In Favor: Gagnon, Kruppa, Melchen, Roe. Discussion Item - Draft Aquifer Protection Ordinance “Notes” from Beeners dated 7/19/13 and consisting of five (5) typed pages were discussed in de- tail, as well as what Beeners referred to as the source of “most of any new material” from Big Flats. Reference was made here to four (4) page document entitled “New York Law Drinking Water Protec- tion, Zoning, Wetlands and Watercourse Protection for Town of Big Flats, Aquifer Protection Overlay District (APOD)”. Kruppa commented on the issue of who might be responsible for collecting groundwater for sam- ples. “Results” provided to Health Dept are what matters and he also mentioned the fact that in New York State, it is the DEC that is the responsible party in most cases. Connors inquired if the Town of Big Flats has had a chance to determine how their Ordinance is working out for them, but no one present could answer this question with certainty. In summary, it was suggested that any/all revisions made to “Notes” were to be undertaken by Beeners. Planning Board_Minutes_20130725 • Friday, August 9, 2013 Page 2 of 3 Member Items Kruppa made reference to an article that appeared in the July 2013 issue of Danby Area News entitled “Water Testing” which mentions, “...Bolton Point water system had high levels of a carcino- genic mineral.” This should have read “disinfectant by-product” rather than “carcinogenic mineral”. Chair Roe made request that Secretary Pfleiderer contact Member Selin via e-mail to inquire as to what progress he had made on his section of the Comprehensive Plan revisions. Adjournment The meeting was adjourned at 8:25 pm. ____________________________________ Jan Pfleiderer, Planning Board Secretary Planning Board_Minutes_20130725 • Friday, August 9, 2013 Page 3 of 3
